Lace, red and pink are all too predictable for Valentine's Day. Dresses always evoke romance - smolder in a black halter dress with ruffles along the hem (with tights if it's cold out) with black accessories and sparkly jewelry. If you must wear pink on Valentine's Day, or just want to stand out a bit, wear this outfit with Giuseppe Zanotti open-toed snake-embossed pink pumps.

How to wear it: Jean Paul Gaultier short tulle dress, Giuseppe Zanotti snake-embossed pumps, CC Skye glitter hoop earrings, King Baby Studio Black Onyx Ring, Furla black mimosa clutch

On the fifth day of Christmas, I hope my love gives to me... (okay sing it with us) five gorgeous King Baby Studio rings. On the sixth day of Christmas...

The Couture team is feeling the rebel yell of the changing season, torn between our ladylike underpinnings and our rebellious spirit. What better way to express it than merging the sweet with a little spice? Absolutely none! We are craving black leggings tucked into our navy buckle detail male-inspired punk-esque boots, a little pirate swagger with a dash of skulls and skeletons scarf, ladylike indifference with a leather fringed handbag, channeling a little Belgian punk spirit with lace up booties, and cuffed perfection with a crown insigna silver cuff.

Our pics: Paul Smith Navy Back Zipper Boots with Buckle Detail, Roberto Cavalli Black Patent Leather Lace up Ankle Boots, Alexander McQueen Black/White Tree of Life scarf , Jill Stuart Onyx Leather and Metal Fringe St. Germain Felicity Satchel, and King Baby Studio Crowned Heart Cross Cuff.

The Couture team is craving fabulous jewelry to highlight any outfit. Not just simple, sweet pieces, but rather, sophisticated, statement-making jewelry. Some of our favorites: the opulent, art deco-inspired Jean Paul Gaultier double-tiered disc necklace, the King Baby Studio urban chic 3D crown heart necklace, Judith Jack's 1930's-inspired stack rings and Shiela Fajl's organic full leaf drop earrings.
